"Heuristic Protocol" or "Heuristic Dissector"?

Should we have a single table, listing protocols, with up to two checkboxes, one for the "identifier-based" dissector (if any; leave the checkbox out if none) and one for the heuristic dissector (if any; leave the checkbox out if none)?

Or, if there's never a case where you'd want to disable the "identifier-based" dissector but not the heuristic dissector, a checkbox to completely disable the dissector ("identifier-based" and heuristic) and, if there's a heuristic dissector, a checkbox to disable only it?
